Mixing Botox and RF skin tightening?

Question

I am currently having a course of facial skin tightening, I am going on holiday soon so also want to have Botox on my forehead and round my eyes to soften the lines, will having the Botox prevent the skin tightening results as I know it can take a few months to see full benefits? Should I just leave the Botox until I see what effects I get from the RF?Thanks

Botox and the skin tightening work in different ways, so it's fine to have these two treatments within a few days of each other. Get the skin tightening first, and when your skin is no longer irritated, get the Botox.

Thank you for your question.Combining botox with skin tightening treatments are often recommended for optimal results. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Skin tightening procedures work great in combination with botox, I typically perform the skin tightening procedure first then the botox.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox can be combined with RF tightening procedures. These can be done at the same visit or separate visits.If these treatments are done in one visit, I would recommend doing RF skin tightening first and then do Botox injections.

Thank you for your question.  Botox should not interfere with your skin tightening results, and it would be fine to have it done during your RF sessions.  Be sure to tell both your Botox injector, as well as your RF tightening medical specialist, your plans.  It would be best to space them at least a day apart.
